Personal experiences, incidents and smiles


I am not much into playing physical games. But I do like playing games on my phone. These can become addictive over time.
Back in 2013-14 I downloaded two games on my phone. One was Nemo derived from the first movie and the other was based on Ice age. I got so addicted to these that I had to start my day with doing the daily tasks that the games called for. I even spend money to buy the virtual stuff in these games, a lot of money. My kids used to make fun of my addiction to these games. Luckily for me that as I changed my phone they weren’t compatible with my new phone. This served to break my addiction and I had to stop cold Turkey.
Now I just play cards games on my phone. I can say that they are mildly addictive but I don’t feel that I have to play them if I don’t have time.
My elder brother, who is a doctor told me a long time back to keep my mind actively engaged by doing puzzles and playing games that make me think. It’s one way of preventing pre-senile dementia. So I do it for medical reasons, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Are you a gamer? What sort of games you like to play?

I play phone games daily: solo Scrabble, solitaire (multiple forms), and another word game. I’m starting to enjoy them more than physical games because no one loses. I do play physical games with friends and sometimes Code Names over zoom. I also play other games with my kids in person…

Playing games solo is so relaxing and entertaining at the same time.

I’ve always liked games except not physical ones. Board games, cards, dice, and pencil puzzle games of all kinds. I do a few computer games each day, but never on a phone. 🙂

I liked physical games when I was younger. In fact, my first knee injury was playing cricket. But I know my limitations now, so just walking for me.

I have several games on my Kindle. Most are word games and card games, which I do every day. But there is a silly bubble pop game that is addictive. It is pretty mindless, and I waste a lot of time on it. Every day I tell myself to delete it. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.🤨
